In this case, you treat /proc/pci per line. Perhaps you would like to read the file by records, like:
# example of a full record
Bus 0, device 0, function 0:
Host bridge: Intel Unknown device (rev 3).
Vendor id=8086. Device id=7190.
Medium devsel. Master Capable. Latency=64.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe6000000 [0xe6000008].
If so, you only need to make a slight modification to MZSanford code:
use strict;
my @devices;
undef $/;
foreach (split /\n\s\s\b/, <DATA>) {
# you now have the whole record in $_
# do with it as you please
}
<snip>
- Good luck
